PC powers up, then shuts down ~1 sec later. Cycle repeats.

Hi all,

Have an issue with my PC. When I press the power button, the machine whirs into life for just short of a second. Then dies. After a ~2 sec delay the process will repeat. This will continue until the PSU is switched off or the main supply removed.

I have removed all connections in an effort to identify where the issue is arising (HDD/GPU/RAM/Floppy etc.). With just the mobo and PSU, when pressed the power will remain on.

However, the moment I connect the CPU power supplies (from the PSU) to the board the aforementioned problem arises.

System stats are as follows:
Intel E6400 2.13GHz
Gigabyte DDR2 Mobo
9800 GTX GPU
4Gb DDR2 RAM
850w PSU

Thanks in advance for any help,

Christian
